Dream of the Red Chamber: A vase unveils Xue Baochao's "old bottom" and shatters the Xue family's dream of being a hero

A big reason why Jia Mu opposed Jin Yuliang's marriage was that the Xue family and the Jia family were not in the right household. Cao Xueqin used the phrase "Kai JingQiu" as a metaphor for the gap between the two families in Jia Mu's heart.

It is woven from the hairs on the heads of wild ducks, representing Xue Baoqin and Xue Baochao, indicating that the daughters of the Xue family are all "wild maidens."

The bird gold fur is woven from peacock feathers, representing Jia Baoyu, indicating that the descendants of the Jia family are born noble like peacocks.

Wild ducks are not worthy of peacocks, just as the wild ladies of the Xue family are not worthy of the Jia family's noble sons. Cao Xueqin arranged the foreshadowing clearly.

Of course, Jia Mu's opposition to the marriage of Jin Yuliang is to guard against the "invasion" of the Jia family by the daughter of the Wang family. But the appearance is still represented by the "portal" gap.

The Xue family, who was born in Shangjia, is not worthy of the Duke Jia family, and the door is an insurmountable gap.

In addition to arranging the comparison between Qiu Jingqiu and Que Jinqiu, Cao Xueqin also has many foreshadowings. For example, etiquette, rules, the quality of the handmaiden, etc., and even refined to a vase in Xue Baochao's room. This article tells the story of this vase.

When Grandma Liu entered the Rongguo Mansion for the second time, Jia Mu left her to visit the Grand View Garden. The route is the same as the same as the day's Grand View Garden Test Questions, starting from Xiaoxiang Hall and going all the way down.

Jia Mu also like Jia Zheng, through the evaluation of each person's house, expressed her evaluation of the owner of the house, and sang and supplemented with Grandma Liu.

When Jia Mu took Grandma Liu to Xue Baochao's Garden, she saw Xue Baochao's snow cave-like room, and made a rare criticism, calling it unlucky, and her relatives saw that it was not like it, which meant that it was not in line with the rules.

Xue Baochao advocates su ya and does not love flower powder, and her room represents her preferences. But living in jia's house must conform to the master's rules is etiquette. The Jia family cannot have such a furnished room. Relatives saw it and thought they were treating guests badly.

In addition, Xue Baochao is also a lady who reads and knows etiquette, what family identity, there must be corresponding etiquette rules, can not be willful. Xue Baochao was also criticized for being good.

However, pay attention to the limited furnishings in Xue Baochao's room, especially the vase.

(The fortieth time) and into the house, the snow cave is general, there is no color plaything, there is only a clay bottle for several chrysanthemums, and two books, tea cups. The bed is only hung with a green gauze curtain, and the mattress is also very simple.

It is said that Baochao is also full of bellies, but there are only two books, which is in stark contrast to the full house of books in Lin Daiyu's room. Xue Baochao did not read to do learning, but only to decorate himself.

The most important thing to pay attention to is the "earthy vase", this vase, Jia family kitchen does not necessarily have.

Most of the porcelain used in the jia family's rooms are famous utensils such as Ru kilns and official kilns. For example, the "Ru kiln beauty yao" in Madame Wang's room; the ru kiln flower sac in Jia Tanchun's room, the large plate of the daguan kiln; the multicolored small lid bell of the kiln of Miao Yu and the one-color official kiln are born out of the white lid bowl... Only Xue Baochao suddenly existed in such a "fixed kiln" earthen vase.

There are five famous kilns in Chinese history, "Ruguan Ge Junding".

Ru kiln is the first, the most rare and precious, rain over the azure is even more exquisite.

Guanyao is the official kiln mouth near the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Daguan kiln is another name for the official kiln. Later generations of official kilns are government-run kilns, and the kilns are the official kilns in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty.

The Jia family used porcelain such as Ru kilns and official kilns, symbolizing the wealth, status and taste of the magnates.

The ding kiln is also one of the five major kilns, which is naturally good. Dingyao kilns have also fired porcelain for the palace and government, and the bottom sections are mostly "officials", "new officials", "five royal palaces", "Shang Food Bureau", "Shang Pharmacy Bureau" and so on.

However, the ding kiln is different from other kilns and was originally a folk kiln. Mainly for the firing of folk daily porcelain. The most famous is white porcelain.

Xue Baochao's earthen vase is a civilian vase of dingyao, and the texture is relatively rough. Therefore, it is called "Tuding".

Ding kiln porcelain is also divided into two kinds of "coarse and fine", the soil is set as coarse porcelain, corresponding to fine porcelain is also known as "powder ding". The value is fine and expensive, and the coarse is cheap.

The porcelain of the "Tuding Kiln" is a porcelain designed for the use of ordinary people's homes.

The earthen vase in Xue Baochao's room and the Ru kiln flower sac in Jia Tanchun's room represent the gap between the identities of the two people, as well as the gap between the Xue family and the Jia family.

The Xue family and Xue Baochao are "people", and the Jia family, Jia Tanchun and Jia Baoyu are officials and nobles.

The two sides are like the fine porcelain of the Dingyao kiln and the fine products of the Ru kiln, and the gap between quality and value is difficult to cross.

Cao Xueqin deliberately borrowed the Tuding bottle to illustrate that Jin Yuliang's marriage was not suitable for the Jia family.

Xue Baochao's whole was the fig leaf of the Xue family, but it was completely torn apart by this vase.

Similar to the meaning of the Tuding bottle, it is Lin Daiyu's room full of books. The Jia family lacked such a bookish atmosphere.

As for the furnishings in Jia Tanchun's room, it means her brilliant future after her long marriage. The furnishings in Qin Keqing's room are too virtual environment, and each furnishing corresponds to a "golden noodle", so I will not repeat it more.
